Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
On the quiet street, Hulim, wearing a black wizard robe, was jumping across the rooftops.
"Hey, that suspicious guy on the roof, stop right there!"
The shouts of patrolling guards were heard on the street.
But Hulim completely ignored it, instead increased his speed and left it behind in a few seconds.
However, the increasing frequency of encountering guards inevitably slowed down the pace of action.
According to the information Hulim "inquired", the group's base seemed to be in the west of the lower town, and the place where Mickey disappeared was in the south of the lower town. If you walk along the lower town, you will have to take a lot of detours. The shortest route is to go in a straight line through the middle town and part of the upper town.
Of course the trouble is that this path is heavily guarded...
Soon, Hulim arrived in the upper town.
The streets in the upper town were very wide, and many of them were manors, so Hulim had to come out onto the street.
"Hate it! Those guys, what kind of nobles are they?! They're full of evil! Seriously! Just being in the same space with them makes me want to vomit! And I have to force a smile in front of them! When will this kind of life end?! Hate it! Hate it!"
The royal carriage was pulled by earth dragons, and Alicia, who had just finished a dinner, was venting her anger on the soft sofa.
In response, the maid and steward in the carriage flipped through the itinerary records and said expressionlessly:
"Your Highness Alicia, please be careful with your words. If outsiders hear such words, rumors that are unfavorable to you will spread."
"Eh! But Martina won't tell anyone, right?"
Alicia lazily leaned on the sofa and said casually.
"You should be careful, because walls have ears. Also, your current appearance is too slovenly, which is really unbecoming of royal etiquette. Please sit up straight."
"Hey...Martina, you're so strict..."
"This is my duty. If Her Highness Alicia could understand me, I would be very grateful."
"Also, although Your Highness is very reluctant, His Majesty is organizing a family dinner in two days, and you must attend. Also, in five days, the Grand Duke of Peru has invited you to a party, and in seven days..."
Martina flipped through the itinerary, mercilessly announcing one arrangement after another.
Every time Martina read out an arrangement, Alicia felt like being hit on the head by something heavy.
"Ah! No! No! I don't want to! Is this the kind of life a human can live?"
She was so upset that she started throwing a tantrum on the sofa.
"Your Highness—"
“Who is that—!?”
At this moment, a knight's stern voice suddenly came from outside.
Martina's eyes fixed, and she immediately stood up, assuming a combat stance and looking towards the car door.
He glanced at Alicia from the corner of his eye. She had already resumed her sitting posture. The lazy and rogue look she had just had seemed fake.
At this time, Hulim stopped not far in front of Alicia's convoy.
When she encountered this convoy, she had originally planned to simply pass by it as she had done before, but the familiar royal carriage in the middle of the convoy gave her a second thought...
"What's going on? Why are you so scared?"
Although still young, Alicia already possessed dignity. She opened the car door and walked out, while Martina, the maid and housekeeper, stood silently beside her.
"Your Highness."
A knight quickly saluted and pointed to Hulim in the black robe in front of him.
"This unknown individual suddenly appeared and rushed into the middle of the road. I suspect he has ill intentions. Your Highness, please carefully return to your carriage."
"Unknown person?"
Alicia did not retreat as the knight suggested, but instead looked at the person the knight was talking about.
It was at this moment that Hulim lowered his hood.
"Huh?"
Alicia was startled and then jumped out of the car.
"Don't panic, this is one of us!"
As he said this, he pushed the knight aside and walked towards Hulim.
"Your Highness?!"
Alicia's move made the knights at a loss as to how to respond. They were afraid that she would suddenly encounter danger, but they could not continue to refute her after she indicated that there was no danger. They could only hold their weapons tightly. If there was any mistake, they would rush forward and execute the suspicious person on the spot.
It was not until they saw Alicia and Hulim talking peacefully that the knights breathed a sigh of relief and loosened their grip on their weapons a little, but their spirits did not relax. While the two were talking, they quietly dispersed to the nearby area, keeping alert to their surroundings.
"Hulim, why are you dressed like this? Are you going somewhere?"
"Alicia, I need your help now."
"Help? Me?!"
Alicia was a little surprised, but when she saw Hulim's serious expression, she immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Okay! What happened? I will definitely help you!"
Then Hulim told Alicia about a group of criminals who appeared in Langard and kidnapped Manax students, and that Miko was taken away by them.
"What!? This kind of thing actually happened!?"
"Alicia, I'm going to rescue Miko from their base now, but their exact strength is still unknown, so please notify the security team... No! Please notify the garrison knights and ask them for reinforcements."
